    Looks like a Conquest power reserve but beyond that, I am at a loss. Could it be a ref. 9028?

    Hard to say if it's the power reserve model or just the standard model, for me.

    I'd say definitely a power reserve. If it's cheap, buy it. :D

    Could be a diamond in the rough, or it could have been ridden hard and hung up wet.

    Try to get a picture of the back. Make sure the fish has most of its green enamel paint.

    That should give you an idea of the overall condition.

    Are you a gambler?

    thx all, that is along the lines of what I think (hope) ... a cal 294 powereserve ... I had the regular cal 291 and I am aware of the disc in the center ...

    will keep you updated if i get new pics ...

    here is a comparo between a generic www lifted pic and the pic I got:

    comparing those, they have a lot in common, I see a correct hour hand @ 12 and even the powerreserve numbers

    :thumbsup:

    Well, seems there's an inner ring, like the power reserve.....this must be the photo which birthed the phrase...pics don't do it justice

    What's the update @al128 ?

    watch no longer available ... and believe me - you don't do a long distance deal in South America (hey, a nice stranger is sending me money - how cool is that? :D )
